2007 Players of the Week

MacKay named KCAC and Region IV volleyball “Libero of the Week”

Nikki MacKay, McPherson College senior, was named the KCAC and NAIA Region IV volleyball “Libero of the Week” for her play during the week of October 8-14, 2007.

MacKay was credited with 30 digs in the Lady Bulldogs 3-1 loss to Tabor on Monday, then came back with 44 digs and one kill in McPherson's 3-0 win over KCAC leader Bethany on Wednesday.

Those matches marked the second and third this season MacKay has qualified for the AVCA (American Volleyball Coaches Association) 30-dig club.

“Nikki has been working very hard every day in practice to improve her skills and to help her team,” said McPherson head coach Nathalea Stephenson. “She is a one of those players that will spend extra time in the gym and put her teammates' success ahead of her own.”

“This past week, all the hard work paid off as she had 74 digs in two matches.  This is her senior year and Nikki has made it a goal to help this team move up in the conference and if she honors come along, she is the first to credit her teammates.”

Nikki is a 2004 graduate of Raymore-Peculiar High School in Peculiar, Missouri.

MacKay was named to the All-KCAC second team as a libero in 2006.
